The Moon and the Face
Of seers and starships. . .Riverworld was a planet of Eden whose people possessed the power of dreaming the future. Kyreol, daughter of a Healer, pierced by the vision veil to discover the ultimate truth -- that her home world unknowingly bosted the way station of a vast interstellar civilization. An evil star shone on Kyreol's first mission as an interplanetary agent. Her ship fell out of space, crashing on a lonely, mysterious moon. Rising from its endless plains was the white city -- awesome, abandoned, eons--dead--a silent world of secret wonders. Only her prophetic dreams linked Kyreol to Riverworld, but she was hopelessly marooned light-years away. And she was not alone.
